Earlier this year I was trying to plot a route in the UK Peak District and MRA would NOT let me set a route through a particular village. Then, a day or so later, it would, and then later again still not. I realised afterwards that there were temporary roadworks that were probably being opened/closed almost daily. This was confirmed when I rode the route and had to go back the way I had come a short distance to take a diversion.
The last couple of days I have also been working on a route for the passes in the Lake District. Kirkstone Pass has, I think, been closed for repairs but was recently re-opened. However, MRA would not let my route go down the southern end, between the Kirkstone Pass Inn and Troutbeck. Instead, it sent the route around through Ambleside.
At least, it did until I toggled the Seasonal Closures option on/off, after which it's now happy to go down the correct way. It wasn't a seasonal closure so I'm not sure why that worked, but it seems to have sorted it.
Something which may help is this website: in their own words "Causeway one.network is a platform that Highway Authorities, Utilities, and Contractors use to communicate roadworks." https://one.network/en-gb
it's scrollable, zoomable and shows different icons for the type of work being done. Coverage seems to be England, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man but not Ireland.
I can't guarantee how up to date and accurate it is and I don't think they can either, as the data comes from the different road contractors, but it may help someone.
